Discord CTO says he’s “constantly bringing up enshittification” during meetings

  So does anyone know a proper alternative that doesn’t scare every non-tech person on my server?

  I already lost people when we initially moved from a facebook group to discord.

  I believe i can self-host a matrix client but no idea how well it will work with people currently having notifications by discord bot on their phone

    There’s very little that doesn’t scare non tech people.

    Revolt is probably the closest fit revolt.chat

      revolt.chat

      Safe binaries we can validate with signed manifests, or just ISO27002-violating FlatSnappImage spooge?

    I heard Element just added screensharing

      It’s still in beta and audio appears to not always work when streaming. Though, there’s recent activity on the related issues, so hopefully it gets out of beta before Discord alienates the regular user.

      I tested it a few days ago and besides the audio problem it appears to work very well.

      Element with Matrix.org is getting pretty decent.

    I signed up with Matrix and it was not seamless but maybe a private server would be great and they could go from there (but that feels like a long term commitment to supporting those users). I haven’t really played much with it. Tried getting the folks in my discord server to give it a try but they haven’t and they are tech folks. I would say it’s not ready for normies, but I really wish it was.

      says the guy who also says

      my discord server

      as if the two ideas aren’t the same.

      If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.

    In my opinion discord is not yet enshittified enough for these problems to be easily solved. Give it a couple more years, if matrix gains just a bit more traction, the scaffolding to do stuff like that will be worked out.

    Keet is pretty cool and (granted I am a tech person) is pretty dead simple to use.

  It already is (and was long before any ads)

  With discord already being pretty shitty, I am interested in what ideas they are coming up with.

    You could use jitsi meet. Kinda similar to zoom though imo

    • WilfordGrimley@linux.community ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think you can also use Jitsi as a plugin from within Matrix

  I read the article, but nothing can convince me the discord execs aren’t purely thinking of how ways to further enshittify.
